Totland Bay
Totland Bay is a bay on the west coast of the Isle of Wight, England. It lies one-quarter of an mile (0.4 kilometres) to the west of the town of Totland from which it takes its name. It faces north west and has a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 kilometres) coastline as well as is comprised of a straight west encountering coast which has a beach, concrete seawall, groynes and also run-down 450-foot-long (140 m) Victorian pier as well as a straight north facing rough shoreline. It extends from Warden Point in the north to Hatherwood Point in the south-west. The seabed is a mixture of mud and sand, free from lots of underwater outcrops, this makes it a preferred anchorage factor for vessels. The coastline is predominantly shingle. Because 2001 the high quality of the coastline has been high sufficient for it to be granted the Seaside Award Flag. In the summertime, trash as well as algae are eliminated every day, with the latter being composted by local farmers. Presently, the pier is being refurbished to re-open the coffee shop which was there before. The bay is ideal viewed from Headon Warren or anywhere along the concrete seawall. The Isle of Wight Coastal Path leaves the seawall from Warden Point to Widdick Chine.
